Sheriff's Office Pays It Forward With Our Daily Bread

April 2, 2014

Sheriff Stacey Kincaid is on a mission to raise awareness about the
Fairfax County Sheriff's Office and, in the process, give back to the
community in which she lives and works.

"Our county is one of the wealthiest in the nation," said
Kincaid, "but not all of our residents enjoy the basic necessities of
shelter, food and clothing. For Sheriff's Office staff, 'March Madness'
was not all about basketball. For the entire month, we collected
household supplies for Our Daily Bread in Fairfax so that others less
fortunate could share in our bounty."

Lisa Whetzel, Executive Director of Our Daily Bread, is delighted with
the partnership. "We are so grateful to the employees of the Fairfax
County Sheriff's Office for generously donating these supplies to help
the Fairfax County area families who receive assistance through our Food
Bridge Program. Toiletries, cleaning supplies and diapers are a huge
expense for those among us who are struggling to make ends meet. Our
families are so happy when they receive these items, because it frees up
funds to use for fresh food, rent and other necessary expenses."

The Sheriff's Office is responsible for managing the Adult Detention
Center, providing security in the Courthouse and serving civil law
process. Outside of these core functions, the agency engages in community
outreach through child
safety seat inspections,child ID
events, Project
Lifesaver and Shop
with a Sheriff. The Sheriff's Office is part of Fairfax County's
public safety team that also includes Police, Fire and Rescue, and Public
Safety Communications.
